New build with venetian blinds and screens

Venetian blinds along every window band, plus vertical screens on the terrace side. One job, two systems, one point of contact.

Two systems on one building

Slats and screens solve different problems. Slats tilt and so meter the light; a screen is a closed surface that removes glare and still leaves the view out. Having both on one building is not a contradiction but the answer to two different sides of a façade.

Before the rendering

On a new build it is decided early whether the lintel can later take a box. If the recess only becomes a subject after the rendering, what usually remains is the surface-mounted solution: visible, and rarely what the architect drew.
